Nice of John to make that offer!

You bet! MaCom is no HP however, and their "data sheets" are awfully skimpy.
I can almost put money on losing at least one finding out how sturdy they
are.

As for background and theory, I'll make copies of an artcile or two to
send you, about the discovery of the effect and the optimization of
diode structure to enhance it.

Will appreciate that as well Tom. I don't have to know the physics to make
use of the device, but it's helpful to have that insight when you're trying
to optimize the circuitry.
